How Re-Educating Your T-Cells Might Be The Future of Celiac Treatment

T-Cells are a type of white blood cell that helps your immune system identify and fight intruders, protecting you from disease, infection and maybe even cancer.

In people with celiac disease, our t-cells over-react when we eat gluten and send another type of immune cell, the b-cell, out to kill the invader. But instead, they end up killing healthy cells in our small intestine.

In some new and exciting research, Dawn Wiese Adams, M.D., director of the Celiac Disease Clinic at Vanderbilt University Medical Center is investigating ways chill out those over-excited t-cells by teaching them to ignore gluten.

This approach is now in phase 2 trials and involves “KAN-101”. It’s a peptide infusion that goes to the liver and converts these feisty t-cells into T regulatory cells that have a calming affect on the immune system. Effectively a chill-pill for your t-cells.

For more detailed information, you can read the full article here: Disarming the Autoimmune Response in Celiac Disease

I’d love to hear what you think. If you could get an infusion to calm the gluten response would you do it? Would you go back to eating gluten or would you consider it a “back up plan” in case you were accidentally glutened. Would it make you less worried about travelling, socializing, eating in restaurants?

Folk Medicine

A New England Almanac of Natural Health Care from a Noted Vermont Country Doctor

This book is where it all started for me. My foray into “natural medicine” and the idea that the old ways can work alongside modern medicine to give us agency over our health.

Dr. Jarvis was born and raised in Vermont and went away to become a doctor. When he came back home to practice among his own people, he recognized that he would have to understand their ways and their traditions in order to gain their respect and acceptance.

Go here for my full review of Folk Medicine and the life changing affect this book had for me.
